accidental video ● fifth reflection

[The video clicks on to a very familiar apartment. Yet it seems that the person who turned on the SFC on accident is rather disoriented. As she fumbles with it, the video becomes clear. Saya's apartment, the living room area to be exact. The SFC is set on the table and it catches just a glimpse of an odd sight. Why the hell is Matthew laying on top of Saya on her couch? She's not quite sure either.
And so she can't refuse reflexes, emitting a sound most likened to a squeak and then roughly kicking him off of her. As he falls on the floor with an 'Ow', she wakes up a bit and tilts her head down to look at him. Her hand is removed from the SFC but the camera still manages to catch the rest of the conversation.]
Oh. So I got last and first hit. I'm satisfied.
[Then he lurches to his feet--or tries to. Instead, he ends up slumping to the floor again, wincing.] That isn't fair.
Sure it is. You gave me an opening both times. You need to work on your hand-to-hand combat skills. [She stretches and attempts to sit up as well but fails, flopping back onto the couch.]
[He huffs, propping his chin on his hand.] Catching me by surprise doesn't mean I have to work on my hand-to-hand combat. [He notices something that she doesn't and grins.] Hey Saya, toss me your SFC?
[She complies, carelessly tossing it to him and the camera is jostled as she does so.] Don't go throwing it at an enemy like you did with yours. [a pause] ... we'll probably have to go looking for it now.
[He catches it.] It was a better use for the thing at the time. [He pauses, glancing into it and tilting his head.] Oh, so it is recording. Hello, Vatheon. Looks like the theory is true.
[She sputters incoherently off-camera. There's some ruffling as she slips off the couch and reaches for it.] H-Hey! Hand that over! This isn't how I wanted to make my return!
[He laughs at her.] Well, it's too late for that. Anyway, I'm using it. [He sticks his tongue out at her.]
[There's some grumbling and she has no qualms invading personal space in order to get it back at this point. Attempts to snatch the SFC are go, but she tries to get a message across at the same time.] Ignore this guy, you can discuss the more serious matters with him later. For now- [a moment of hesitation] Well, I'm back. Or maybe we're back, I should say. Sorry if you worried, let's talk later!
[He gives a cheeky grin and cuts off the feed with a click!]

Date: 2010-08-26 08:54 pm (UTC)Not this time, sorry, Saya. I wonder if we were eaten, though.
[Video 2/2]
Date: 2010-08-26 08:56 pm (UTC)I'm touched, Saya.
But it was escapable up until the point where we were mobbed by zombies.
[Action]
Date: 2010-08-26 08:56 pm (UTC)Oh, ugh! I can at least know for sure that didn't happen my first time. The second time was really bad in comparison.
[Action]
Date: 2010-08-26 08:57 pm (UTC)Well, it wasn't pleasant, I'll give you that.
[1/2]
Date: 2010-08-26 08:59 pm (UTC)[2/2]
Date: 2010-08-26 08:59 pm (UTC)I would hate to become what killed us, Saya.
[Action]
Date: 2010-08-26 09:00 pm (UTC)[She's silent for a while, contemplating something.]
... so, what do I owe you for being the cause of your first death?
[1/2]
Date: 2010-08-26 09:01 pm (UTC)And you can state the obvious.
[2/2]
Date: 2010-08-26 09:02 pm (UTC)And he's a jerk. Ignore him. You have every reason to be surprised.
[Action]
Date: 2010-08-26 09:02 pm (UTC)Nothing at all. It was my choice, not yours.
[Action]
Date: 2010-08-26 09:05 pm (UTC)Oh come on. I don't like obscure debts, and I'm gonna keep feeling kinda guilty until I make it up to you with something.
[She laughs a little, trying to make the best of a serious discussion but... her expression sobers up quickly enough. How nice that he can't see it.]
no subject
Date: 2010-08-26 09:09 pm (UTC)And just. Trying to ignore what Saya said because MATTHEW IS A JERK and Billy doesn't want to get his hopes up.]
Just saying. How the heck did I survive when you... didn't?
[Yeah, that kind of got more awkward at the end than he intended for it to.]
[Action]
Date: 2010-08-26 09:34 pm (UTC)Live life in your own way, right? Whether it affects other people or not, it is still filled with your own choices, and the consequences are your own as well.
[1/2]
Date: 2010-08-26 09:36 pm (UTC)I'm glad you didn't worry or care. I would've felt bad if I knew that you were affected by our deaths.
But... I did think, Naoya. I thought 'Jeeze, these villagers are probably expendable to the people in charge. They're not all that important to the ones who control this place, huh? We foreigners are hard to replace, but they'll kill off the villagers no problem'. So there was the chance that we'd be brought back to life.
I didn't act completely carelessly. Maybe in combat I got kinda sloppy but... I like to think I was more prepared than you give me credit for.
[2/2]
Date: 2010-08-26 09:38 pm (UTC)I was sloppy, but I figured facing the zombies was safer than facing you if I let her get herself killed.
[Teasing~ Always teasing. It's easier to tease than to say what he really means.]
[Action]
Date: 2010-08-26 09:39 pm (UTC)But the consequences of my actions were your death. I can't just forget that.
[She hums thoughtfully and tries to think of a way to make it up for him, but she can't do anything major. Not if she's to acknowledge how he doesn't think of anything much.]
How about I give you some of that information you like so much? It'll be pretty much useless to anyone else, but it's something.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-26 09:49 pm (UTC)... You're both two of the most ceaselessly incompetent children I have ever come across. If this is what the human race has to think of itself, I may as well just let them be enslaved.
[ Annnnd facepalming with a sigh. ] ... Minatsuki-san, I will speak to you when we're alone. That is all. As for the both of you, perhaps NEXT time, think to ask for my assistance.
[1/?]
Date: 2010-08-26 11:57 pm (UTC)[2/4]
Date: 2010-08-26 11:58 pm (UTC)[3/4]
Date: 2010-08-27 12:00 am (UTC)Oh well, it's... I wouldn't say better, but I'm glad you were spared. Dying isn't fun.
Just don't take life for granted. Trust me.
[Action]
Date: 2010-08-27 12:00 am (UTC)Well, if you're so set on giving me information, I won't say no.
[4/4]
Date: 2010-08-27 12:01 am (UTC)[Yeah, that's his advice, and also his hint as to what happened.]
[Action]
Date: 2010-08-27 12:02 am (UTC)[She sighs and tilts her head contemplatively.]
I mean, you seemed pretty curious about it before. About how I died the first time, that is.
[1/2]
Date: 2010-08-27 12:09 am (UTC)She looks away from the camera awkwardly and rubs the back of her neck as she's searching for an answer.]
Yeah... Well... [grumble grumble, something along the lines of "You don't need to be like this, jeeze" before she finishes off with a sigh.] Right, right. I'll... consider it, Naoya. I mean, you've done enough for me already, so...
[as;dlfjadf Why is he insisting like this? She liked it better when he would help without saying a word about it. She doesn't want to make him any madder, but she hates accepting assistance.]
We'll talk about it later, yeah?
[2/2]
Date: 2010-08-27 12:11 am (UTC)Dragging you out there into the horde of zombies? You might have gotten your clothes dirty.
[aka he kind of didn't want to get Naoya involved in case something happened, not that he cares.]
It has been awhile since I've been lectured like this, I must admit.
